The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

"Put on this single-piece, glasses-shaped alchemical prop."

When you are working with alchemy pigments, you can appreciate more of their details.

Then, based on this, better pigments can be formulated.

Or perhaps, to create even more exquisite, illustrated spell scrolls.

Sandru glanced again at the numerous intricate runes, numbering in the thousands, painted on the edge of the monocle's lens.

Then he continued:

"If one's aptitude for mysticism is below 100 points."

When mixing alchemical pigments and drawing painting-type spell scrolls.

You will then receive approximately 70% additional mystical talent.

However, it can only provide a maximum of 100 points of bonus to mystical attributes.

This monocle was also a product of Sandru's laboratory.

If converted into Soul Coins, it could fetch a six-figure price.

But Sandro was confident that this investment in Ansu would yield a sufficient return.

Just like last time.

...

Are you referring to alchemical equipment related to alchemical pigments?

Listening to Sandru's explanation, Ansu immediately realized the great importance of this monocle.

"It can be compared to the wizard apprentices with dozens of different kinds of eyes that we saw in the course on 'Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing'."

It can even be more effective.

Even though the mystical attributes representing talent in occultism reached three digits.

It can also play a significant role.

Ansu thought to herself, then put away her monocle.

After exchanging information with Sandru and the centaur Novak for a while, and learning more about the academy, Ansu left the alchemy workshop.

At the same time, he was organizing the various knowledge and resources he had acquired in his mind.

"We can try the effect of the monocle later."

Furthermore, once you've acquired the skills to craft alchemical items through the wizarding academy's courses, you can try upgrading them.

Before that.

I should try the "Ether Meditation Method" I just acquired first.

With this in mind, Ansu returned to her residential area immediately after leaving the alchemy workshop.

Then he took out the "Ether Meditation Method" stored in the spatial alchemy artifact.

At this moment, Ansu's mysterious attribute has reached 53 points.

In turn, his talent for mysticism also received an additional boost.

Therefore, after flipping through it for a while, Ansu understood how to use the "Ether Meditation Method".

So he immediately calmed down and tried to use the methods described in the book.

He then began to utilize his mystical talents to interfere with the external environment.

The next moment, some of the ether particles in the surrounding environment began to tremble slightly.

It then slowly drifted towards Ansu.

Before long, numerous ether particles were drawn into Ansu's soul.

Then merge with the soul.

Ansu also felt that everything around her became clearer.

After absorbing the energy in this way for a while, the long-silent panel notification sound rang out again:

[Proficiency +1]

[Mystic attribute increased by 0.01, Mental Strength increased by 0.01]

[Gained Knowledge: Ether Meditation Lv.0]

"As expected, it can enhance the mysterious attribute."

Furthermore, the effect of enhancing mental strength can also compensate for weaknesses.

Feeling the increase in soul space after the improvement of the two attributes, An Su thought to himself.

The improvement so far is indeed not significant.

However, as long as you continue meditating, your proficiency in the Ether Meditation Method will increase.

Conversely, the efficiency of enhancing the mysterious attribute will also be further improved.

You will receive additional bonuses when doing anything thereafter.

With this in mind, Ansu decided to allocate more time to the "Ether Meditation Method".

At the same time, we will try to build a new painting-style spell scroll based on this.

Then load it onto the easel in the soul space.

This allows you to create a familiar that can help improve attributes and also provides an additional boost to the efficiency of gaining meditation proficiency.

"With the existing alchemical pigments, it's highly unlikely that this type of painting-style spell scroll could be created."

It would be best to formulate some new types of alchemical pigments.

Ansu planned to use the thousands of alchemical materials he had obtained during the wizarding academy's assessment.

So he put on the monocle that Sandru had given him.

Then, the spatial box containing the alchemical materials was opened again.

The moment I felt the presence of various alchemical materials once again.

With the aid of the monocle-type alchemy equipment, Ansu's alchemy pigment talent was immediately greatly enhanced.

Conversely, more information can be obtained when exploring alchemical materials.

Properties of alchemical materials.

Which processing method will retain the most effectiveness?

Or what kind of effect can be achieved when multiple alchemical materials are combined...?

Information about alchemical materials was as clear as if it were right in front of me.

As her understanding of the materials deepened, a stream of inspiration related to alchemical pigments began to flow into Ansu's mind.

So Ansu began meditating while simultaneously working on a new alchemical pigment formula.

Besides.

Having agreed to Hertok's assistant's request, Ansu also began using various alchemical tools alongside him.

Thus, the experiments explored more ways to utilize alchemical pigments and employ breathing techniques.

In addition, there are numerous Shadow Element Bone Dragons.

It could be considered a simple alchemy laboratory.

Not long after.

With the added advantage of Hetok's knightly talent, the "Shadow Element Breathing Technique" was thus formed.

This breathing technique wasn't very useful to Ansu and Hertok.

Even if this were applied to an ordinary gravedigger, the same would be true.

After all, we are all made of flesh and blood.

However, this breathing technique can be applied to the Shadow Elemental Bone Dragon, which is a Shadow Elemental Spirit.

In this way...

The Shadow Element Bone Dragon does not need to set aside time specifically to absorb Shadow Element.

Simply practice the "Shadow Element Breathing Technique" whenever you have a spare moment while improving your proficiency, and you can absorb nearby shadow elements.

It can also be used to improve physical attributes and mental attributes.

And with the blessing of the [Attribute - Lord of Elements (Purple)] brought by the [Class - Elemental Priest],

Whenever the Shadow Elemental Bone Dragon, and the Shadow Dragon behind it, increases their attributes.

Anzu's own attributes will also receive an additional boost.

In the process of improving attributes, blending new types of alchemical pigments, and taking time to analyze alchemical pigments.

Ansu also received an unlimited teleportation pass from the academy.

With this certificate, you can use any public portal and have 10 free teleports per day.

Even if you exceed the limit, you only need to consume a small amount of Soul Coins.

Unlike before when one held a public access pass, one can no longer only use portals to specific areas.

At the same time, Ansu also chose three courses on esoteric and supernatural knowledge.

That is, [Spell Model Construction], [Alchemy Item Crafting], and [Alchemy Pigment Combat Application Techniques].

Although Ansu does not need to consume Soul Coins when choosing courses.

But Ansu is not prepared to immediately fill all the remaining time with courses.

"Based on what Sandru said earlier at the alchemy workshop, regarding matters related to the wizarding academy."

New courses do not begin immediately after the entrance examination.

After all, many wizards are busy conducting experiments from which they cannot escape.

Or perhaps it is located in a subsidiary plane of the wizarding world.

The corresponding courses will only be offered after the wizards return to the wizarding academy.

If you choose all the courses now...

If a more suitable course comes along, I won't have any extra time.

Ansu considered this and included it in her plan.

However, since the entrance exams for the wizarding academy had just ended, the new courses did not start immediately.

So Ansu took advantage of this time to carry out various things that could strengthen himself and his family.

At the same time, numerous Shadow Element Bone Dragons were also practicing the "Shadow Element Breathing Technique".

Furthermore, they can also benefit from the bonus effect of [Entry - Knowledge Aura (Color)].

Therefore, not long afterward...

As it continuously absorbed shadow elements, the fifth shadow dragon was born.

Ansu has once again gained an assistant who can help him improve his proficiency and assist in combat.

However, he did not immediately transfer it into a spatial canvas and construct it as a painting-type spell scroll.

"Before that, some adjustments are needed."

Ansu pondered this, then looked at the newly formed Shadow Dragon.

Then he took out a piece of alchemical pigment related to space that had recently condensed.

He immediately applied it to the dragon horns of the Shadow Dragon.

Before long, the alchemical pigments merged with the Shadow Dragon.

Under the influence of the alchemical pigments, Shadow Dragon's body began to change shape uncontrollably, while slowly shrinking.

Until soon after.

A piece of paint, about the size of a thumb, as black as a shadow, was thus formed.
